MD uses a digital compression technique called ATRAC. ATRAC compresses the data to fit on the smaller MD format. This is achieved by removing all of the inaudible sounds which are masked or above the human hearing threshold. The result is a recording that requires less data storage with very minimal sound quality difference.
